New PCIe 4.0 Development Platform Unveiled at PCI-SIG DevCon in
Santa Clara, California

SAN JOSE, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — June 28, 2016 —
PLDA, the industry leader in PCI Express® interface IP solutions today
announces a demonstration of the industry’s first development platform
for PCIe® 4.0. This exclusive demonstration can be viewed in PLDA’s
booth at PCI-SIG DevCon, being held in Santa Clara, California on June
28-29, 2016.

The PLDA Gen4SWITCH™ Platform Development Kit achieves a record
throughput of 18 GB/s in the demonstration. PLDA’s platform includes
PLDA’s XpressSWITCH IP, a multiport embedded Switch IP that enables a
